So I’ve been a fan of Cage(ChrisPalko) since the days before Movies for the Blind. I rem. Going tosee Cage, MHZ, High& Mighty, RJD2 and Sage Francis at ClubKrome(defunct) in South Amboy, NJ. Never did I think I’d be doing apiece of artwork for him 7yrs later…

The conceptualization of this was tricky. Cage’s new album “Depart from me”seems to be about his transformation away from the rough, gritty, griminesswe knew from Movies for the Blind. Cage has been quoted as saying it was "anexorcism of sorts". Without anything other than single “Inever knew you” I knew I had to rely on not what I’d only heardbefore but almost anticipate the direction the art was headed. I alsoknew that I didn’t want to draw a direct comparison with theprevious work of Alex Pardee on Cage’s album.

After discussing the concept withJon(Abnrml T’s), we decided it’d probably be best to have theillustration drawn straight on to the vellum they use to make thescreens. This was an apprehensive task but one I knew could pay off.

I was at Flatstock 20 in March and talked to Dave Witt about how heapproaches a poster for print, NO COMPUTER NEEDED. Yeah that’sright this is the FIRST screen print I’ve done w/o ANY aid of a computer.Both myself and Jon(printer-Abnrml T’s) were interested to see how thingswould turn out.

Welp you decide...Here's some pictures of the process...
